We yearn for relief from these problems!
We dream of peace
But we are plagued by war.
We cherish law and order
But we cannot stop robbery, rape and murder.
We want to trust our Neighbours
But we have to lock our doors for protection.
We love our children
We instill wholesome values in them
But we watch helplessly as they succumb to
unwholesome influence.
Yes, the world has now been made safer for ethnic, tribal
and religious vengeance and savagery.
We have watered down our moral standards
Our youths are confused,
Discouraged and in deep trouble.
Our house,
Having survived the great earthquake,
Is now being eaten away by termites.
